Why would a new hopistal in Kearney be beneficial?

So Good Samaritan Hospital thinks a new hospital in Kearney would be a bad idea because it would jeopardize their excellent team of neurosurgeons as well as as their open-heart surgeons in their trauma center. But have they really looked at how it could actually help them and be beneficial to the community?

A new hospital in Kearney could create new jobs and help put more focus towards our local patients. Good Sam is the only level two trauma center for 450 miles, so it is hard for them to put a lot of focus on the city of Kearney when they are busy with all the surrounding cities as well.

A new hospital could really dig down deep and help out local patients with even just mild health problems. The best thing about all this is since the frustrated doctors who are taking this matter into their own hand are building the hospital with their own income, our taxes won't be raised.

Along with all that, a new hospital could create new jobs. Nebraska isn't being hit as hard as some states by the recession, but anything that would create new jobs would be beneficial to our community. Also by having two hospitals competing, it would drive competitive pricing and therefore lower the overall costs for patients.

Good Sam shouldn't be so concerned about how this new hospital is going to hurt them, but they should be looking at how it can help them and the community of Kearney.
